The First Post

I've never blogged before.  Until about a year ago I didn't even know what the word meant.  My friend Vone turned me on to this, and she's promised me that it's all very easy to do.  It would have to be.  I'm no technophile.  I have a digital watch that is incorrect for half the year, because I can't figure out how to change the time forward or back on hour.  

As I understand it, a blog is a space for bringing pieces of your life together in a sort of virtual gallery.  You can post stories, pictures and videos.  You can also post a whole lot of other things like how-to guides, recipes, political opinion pieces, consumer ratings, and movie reviews.  In short your blog is your very own personal New York Times.  

This is my blog.  I hope I can use it to share stories and pictures with my family and friends.  We live so far apart, and I'm often away, so it's hard to stay in touch sometimes.  Since Una came into our lives I've had a lot to share, and no good way to get the words out, not to mention the videos.  Well here it is.  My New York Times.
